The first thing you do is set up an online store. This
store is purchased through them, and it is pre-stocked with their
products. This is not a monthly fee. The first step is to pick a name
from what they have available, or use your own store name, that you
register as a domain. The support does not stop there. The
administration area gives good information, and many "how-to's" on how
to set up the store.

1 If you are importing from China almost all popular items are imitations. Especially if the cost is inexpensive. Even though the item may have the popular name attached to it - it is not authentic. If you want to import from China look for items that are not brand name.

For your customers' health and the health of the environment,
choosing a safe reusable water bottle for a promotional product is very
important. Everyone knows that the best way to go green with water is to
drink it from the tap in a glass. But, that's not practical for people
on the go. People on the go need something to put their water in.

station. But, there are big problems with those. They are the worse kind
